HD Construction Equipment Hyundai North America is expanding its compact track loader lineup with the new HT30, a 72-hp, medium-frame machine designed to balance lifting capacity, hydraulic performance and versatility.
The new CTL’s frame size is ideal for a variety of landscaping, municipal and residential applications. The machine is available from the factory in any of three versions: cab with high-flow, cab with standard flow and canopy with standard flow.
“The medium-frame HT30 gives customers across a range of applications the power, lifting capacity and versatility they need without buying more machines than their jobs require,” said Jason Taylor, Hyundai’s Product Manager for compact equipment.
The cab version of the CTL has a rated operating capacity of 1,393 kg, while the HT30 canopy version has a rated operating capacity of 1,316 kg.
All versions of the compact track loader can lift to a pin height of 3.3 metres. The operating weight is 5,053 kg for cab versions and 4,739 kg for the canopy version.

The HT30 is equipped with numerous, valuable standard features.
Among the compact track loader’s standard productivity-enhancing features are ride control, creep control, hydraulic quick coupler, return-to-dig, lift-arm float and auto-self-levelling.
“These features increase productivity for newer and experienced operators alike,” Taylor said.
The spacious, one-piece, pressurized ROPS/FOPS cab versions also include many standard features that contribute to operator comfort and productivity, including torsion suspension for a smooth ride, heat and air conditioning delivered through eight well-placed vents.
A heated, air-ride seat is also standard, as well as Bluetooth and the 20-cm smart touch display.
“The operator is the most expensive ‘feature’ on the machine, and a comfortable operator is a more productive operator,” Taylor said.
As well, guarded exterior LED lights — two front and two rear — are standard features. The cab versions include an escort light that stays on for 30 seconds after shutdown to help the operator safely exit the cab and the worksite.
Another important feature of the new compact track loader is ground access to all daily service and routine maintenance points. A PowerCore air filter and reversible fan help keep the engine free of dust and debris and running cooler for longer life, while a tilt-up cooling module enables easier cleaning of the cooling system for max airflow.
“With these features, contractors can rest assured the HT30 will stay productive longer,” Taylor said.
The Hyundai HT30 accommodates dozens of attachments, including a wide selection of buckets, brooms, grapples, augers, brush cutters, snow blowers and pushers, rakes and forks.
